This week’s Armbian development saw significant kernel updates and hardware support improvements across multiple platforms. Key highlights include stabilizing the BananaPi BPI-F3 on Linux 6.16, bumping the rockchip64-edge kernel to 6.17, and compressing kernel modules for BPI-R4. The team also introduced mainline NPU support for Khadas VIM3 and made several bug fixes, such as reverting problematic patches for OdroidC1+ and correcting CPU voltage settings for RK3576. Additional enhancements were made for NanoPi M5, including improved power regulation and device tree organization. Upstreamed patches were dropped for UEFI loong64, and the odroidxu4-current kernel was updated to 6.6.108, reflecting ongoing efforts to maintain stability and expand hardware compatibility.
